Window Air Conditioner & Window AC Units

Window Air Conditioners

Window air conditioners are must-haves for days when temperatures soar and fans just don't seem to cool off the home. Instead of waiting for temperatures to drop, go for high-powered cooling with some of our most popular summertime products. These air conditioners are instantly recognizable, easy to install and simple to take out, making them a favorite for those who live in apartments, condos, small homes and just about anywhere. One of their best features is just how budget-friendly they are, too. With a range of prices and next-gen features that allow anyone to keep cool in high heat, these are the perfectly chilled solution for any household.

Why Buy a Window Air Conditioner?

It's a good question: there are a lot of ways to cool off, from simple fans to central air units and even portable versions. They all have their benefits and their downsides, but window air conditioners are extremely versatile. It's why they're so popular. Self-installation is easy: all you have to do is mount it on the windowsill, open the louvers and shut the window. Make sure any gaps are sealed as well. When high heat levels finally leave or it's time to move, uninstalling window air conditioners is just as easy. Remove, unplug and store until summertime comes back around.

When it comes to initial investment cost, you'll be saving hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars over a central AC HVAC system. Even if you have to purchase a few for your home, you'll still be saving on upfront costs when it comes to cooling off your space. And if you need to move, you'll be able to take these appliances right along with you.

Searching for smarter features? You won't have to look far: explore next-gen models with access to Wi-Fi connectivity: you'll be able to control them from your smartphone and adjust temperatures from the other side of the room (or across town). Many come with a remote that allows you to do the same. Explore other options like energy-saving modes, quiet operation and more.

That being said, these coolers aren't always the best pick for everyone's needs. If you live in a small space, like a studio apartment, then a portable AC might be a better option for your lifestyle. These units are on rolling caster wheels and are easy to transport, and require no heavy lifting or mounting. Wall/built-in models are another option perfect for those who need more power than window air conditioners can provide. But for true all-over home cooling, you'll need a central air conditioner to be installed by professional HVAC specialists (and we can help with that, too).
